    How long did fluid film last inside your frame?

    FWIW, it's advertised as being able to stop existing rust from getting worse/spreading further. You're right though that it's not going to get rid of it.

    How long did fluid film last inside your frame?

    I can help ya with this. Mine is my DD, although it gets driven a lot less now that I'm permanent WFH. Short answer, yeah it's absolutely worth it. Are you finding chunks and shit in there, or is it just not smooth to the touch? If chunks/flakes, best thing to start is to get as much out of...

    How long did fluid film last inside your frame?

    I pretty much always do it once in late fall/early winter and once in late spring/early summer. Even after flushing it out midway between seasonal applications, there's still plenty that lingers in there.

    Need expert advise before I buy please!

    Would need more pics of frame. I'd stick your fingers in there anywhere you can and see if it's smooth, rough, or full of chonky chonks

    Strange behavior in reverse only, 42RLE and 4.0

    Are you ever marking sharp/full turns when it happens? turning hard as you reverse into the driveway I mean, or turning sharply into the driveway going forward

    Hard top wont seal

    Ditto for me, just that little piece of weatherstripping across the top of the tailgate lip, keeps a more firm press on the rear window and holds it snug in place.

    I think that salvage Jeeps are the only way to buy anymore

    Maybe dumb question but curious if there's a way to see what these sell for. Like do people buy these on the super cheap and part them out? That yellow 06 is in my state

    Should I avoid a potential TJ purchase because it has a 42RLE?

    Truly appreciate the explanation and suggestion, wouldn't be worth it as mine is all stock and no plans for any lift or large tires anytime soon. I just keep it in good working order so I can get from A to B, occasionally with dogs, tools, and/or groceries ha. I just switch off O/D and that is...

    Should I avoid a potential TJ purchase because it has a 42RLE?

    This has been my experience ha. Most of the roads I use regularly around me put you riiiiight in that sweet spot where you go just fast enough to trigger it. So unless it's turned off, you're either forced to go just under the speed limit to avoid it, or you lug, or you speed

    Should I avoid a potential TJ purchase because it has a 42RLE?

    Just chiming in to say I've got an 04 42rle and have had it running without issue now for almost 3 years. Mine is a DD, so no lift or oversized tires or anything, and it handles fine - better with O/D off. First thing I did was get fresh trans fluid in though after purchasing. As others said, it...

    FYI, will be heading to STL in September and passing through COMO on the way there and back. Keeping the housing on my radar if you never ended up selling it/anything

    Need help with coolant leak

    Any luck tracking it down?

    Need help with coolant leak

    Based on your pictures, it sure looks like coolant. What did you pressurize the system to? I'd turn the jeep on, leave it parked and let it run/get it up to temperature and see what happens.

    SOLD Dana 30 Overkill - Truss, Sleeves, Shafts etc.

    No sweat man. It doesn't have to look pretty if it's functional. I'd legit only be taking it off your hands solely to solve the problem of not being able to use normal Spicer ball joints on my current LP Dana 30. I'm running ebay specials in there now because they fit, and someday they'll go. When...

    SOLD Dana 30 Overkill - Truss, Sleeves, Shafts etc.

    Is the Dana 30 housing stripped (no ball joints, steering linkage, etc...)? Does it come with steering knuckles? Or is it literally just the housing and that's it. No right answer, just want to be clear. Big thing (if I were to make an offer) is that it needs to not have wallowed out ball joint...

    TJ bolt pattern Pintlers

    I live in KCMO and these have been for sale on and off for quite a while now. I'm pretty sure I remember seeing them several months ago, if not further back. Could just be because the set is incomplete but yeah, take that for what it's worth.

    Does anyone have experience with a Gates or GMB water pump?

    Been running the O'reilly pump for a year now on my daily driver FWIW, but also pretty likely I'll be near a store if it fails. I get wanting the MOPAR if you're away from cities or towns.

    Rear wheel well liners: keep or remove?

    That's what I do, blast with clean cold water, let them dry and pack w/ FF each season change.

    Rear wheel well liners: keep or remove?

    I pulled mine and am glad I did. Was a bit worried about the emissions stuff, so I cut the passenger side in half and just reattached the back half. Looks dumb, probably unnecessary, don't care cause it works
